Franchise / Work With Us

Build a local car cleaning business with Platinum.

For reliable, hands-on people who care about cars, customers and doing the job properly. This is a separate opportunity page, kept away from the main customer booking journey.

Our story

A business built from trust, regular customers and word of mouth.

Platinum Car Cleaning grew from hands-on valeting work into a regular-customer business with a reputation for reliability, care and long-term relationships.

The aim now is to help the right people build their own local Platinum round with practical training, strong branding and proper launch support.

  3. Review and ride-along. We can share more detail and, where suitable, arrange an on-the-job shadow day.
  4. Offer in principle. Subject to checks, territory fit and mutual agreement.
  5. Agreement, onboarding and launch. Legal agreement, training, setup and the first marketing push.
